To think that my DD is broken?

I noticed something really odd today, something I can't unsee!
My DD, 3, puts her trousers on before her socks!!

AIBU to think that this is absolutely crazy, and to question if she's even mine Shock

Skinny jeans may need you to put socks on first, otherwise it's socks after trousers.

Kelsoooo · 09/05/2019 14:49

@gotthatslightchewiness

Hopefully before I've left the house. Otherwise I've entirely fucked up.

Also to totally bamboozle everyone are socks under or over tights?

@idontlikeyoudonaldtrump
Of course you should wipe sitting down.....

Socks after trousers.

Your daughter is wise.

Learn from her.

😋

VelociraptorRex · 09/05/2019 14:52

Nooo, socks on FIRST please! DP and I always put socks on first, but he does like to test me by putting trousers on DS (3) before socks Hmm

Titsywoo · 09/05/2019 14:52

My DD does this too. The rest of us put on socks first. I consider socks to be an undergarment so it's underwear, socks then clothes.

Titsywoo · 09/05/2019 14:53

Kelsooo why do you wear socks with tights?!

Smellbow · 09/05/2019 14:56

I put my trousers on after breakfast/shower and may only later decide whether I'm going out and will take the sock decision depending on what shoes I'm going to wear and what the weather is like.

Can you people who put your socks on first see into the future? Shock YAVVVVUU.

Ticklingcheese · 09/05/2019 15:00

I switch sometimes before, sometimes after trousers, never given it a thought 😆.

Eliza9919 · 09/05/2019 15:00

Nope.

Knickers
Bra
Trousers
Top
Jacket/cardigan etc
Sock
Shoe
Sock
Shoe
Coat if wearing one

Ticklingcheese · 09/05/2019 15:01

I'm going to be busy, I guess. Sniffing elbows and thinking which garment, which order 😂.

Noobcrumble · 09/05/2019 15:02

Socks go over not under tight skinnies and leggings surely - otherwise they make an unsightly and uncomfy bumfle? Hence why they go on last.

Phew! Thought it was just me. Socks on before skinny jeans or leggings?? - er no no no. Loving the term “bumfle” too Grin

Ex28 · 09/05/2019 15:03

Socks first 100%

DerelictWreck · 09/05/2019 15:06

I'm sorry but WHO THE FUCK stands up to wipe?!

starbrightnight · 09/05/2019 15:09

I'm so impressed by your daughters instinctive logic. Unlike me (and most of you by the look of it) she will never have to screw her hand up inside her trouser legs to sort out the crumbled sock-lump that mysteriously appears mid-calf every single time I get dressed.

I can't believe I never thought of it myself. You have a real ground-breaking leader of the masses in your charge. What a frightening responsibility.

Please post other gems of common sense as they arise. Thank you.

Chippychipsforme · 09/05/2019 15:10

Socks last obviously. Apart from my OH who thinks it's acceptable to wander round in his boxers and socks. He also doesn't separate kit kat fingers. I don't know how we're still married.

HarryTheSteppenwolf · 09/05/2019 15:11

Why would anyone put their socks on before their trousers?

speakout · 09/05/2019 15:11

Socks are the first thing to go on.

Treefloof · 09/05/2019 15:16

Can you people who put your socks on first see into the future?
Well yeah, I get up, showered, dressed socks first of course then go out to work or wherever. I dont bother with any of that faff until I will be leaving the house.
If I am not even leaving the house that day (extremely rare event) I put on some joggers and t shirt, no socks but slippers.

FurrySlipperBoots · 09/05/2019 15:16

Of course socks go on after trousers! You'd look blooming weird running around in socks and pants!

RosamundDarnley · 09/05/2019 15:18

Socks first. I get incredibly cold feet!

PurpleFlower1983 · 09/05/2019 15:25

Socks last!

BiBabbles · 09/05/2019 15:27

With a 3 year old, I'd just be glad they're wearing trousers. I had more than one who felt that should be optional.

I have never really thought about it before, but I probably do it in an all broken order as socks are the first thing I put on after a shower. I hate cold feet and apparently would rather look odd in just socks than just pants.

The rest of my family only wear socks if they're wearing shoes and so do it last. They also wear normal thin socks rather than my lovely thermal soft ones.

RomanyQueen1 · 09/05/2019 15:28

YABU for the "broken" Grin
Socks last on here, I think. Can't say as I've noticed.
Will be knocking on bedroom doors tomorrow, now.

Iwouldratherbemuckingout · 09/05/2019 15:28

Nope you're all wrong. Socks before trousers!!!!

Purplecatshopaholic · 09/05/2019 15:30

Who on earth puts socks on first #mindblown
